1. Úvod
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use, setup, operation, and maintenance of your ESAB SWARM A30 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the helmet to ensure proper function and to prevent injury or damage.
The ESAB SWARM A30 is designed to protect your eyes and face from sparks, spatter, and harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. Its auto-darkening filter (ADF) automatically switches from a light state to a dark state when an arc is struck, and returns to the light state when welding stops.

3. Nastavení
3.1 Instalace baterie
- Locate the battery compartment on the auto-darkening filter (ADF) unit.
- Otevřete kryt přihrádky.
- Insert one CR2450 battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Bezpečně zavřete kryt bateriového prostoru.
3.2 Nastavení hlavového dílu
Proper headgear adjustment is crucial for comfort and stability.
- Headband Diameter: Adjust the knob at the back of the headgear to fit snugly around your head.
- Horní popruh: Upravte horní popruh tak, aby helma správně seděla na hlavě, a ujistěte se, že viewVyhřívaná oblast je ve výšce očí.

3.3 Initial Function Test
Before welding, perform a quick test to ensure the ADF is functioning correctly.
- Press the ADF test button located on the internal control panel.
- The filter should momentarily darken and then return to its light state. If it does not, check the battery or consult the troubleshooting section.
4. Návod k obsluze
4.1 Zapnutí/vypnutí
The ESAB SWARM A30 helmet features automatic power on/off. The ADF activates when exposed to light and deactivates after a period of inactivity.
4.2 Nastavení stínu
The helmet offers a variable shade range from DIN 9 to DIN 13 for welding, and DIN 4 for the light state. Adjust the shade level using the internal control knob to match your welding process and current. Refer to welding safety standards for recommended shade levels.
4.3 Nastavení citlivosti
The sensitivity control adjusts how much light is required to trigger the ADF to darken. Adjust this setting using the internal knob:
- Vysoká citlivost: Vhodné pro nízké amperage welding or when the arc is partially obstructed.
- Nízká citlivost: Recommended for high amperage welding or in environments with other bright light sources to prevent false triggering.
4.4 Nastavení zpoždění
The delay control determines how long the filter remains dark after the welding arc extinguishes before returning to the light state. Adjust this setting using the internal knob:
- Krátké zpoždění: For quick, repetitive tack welding.
- Dlouhé zpoždění: Recommended for high amperage welding to protect against afterglow from the weld puddle.
4.5 Režim mletí
To activate grind mode, locate the internal switch and set it to the 'Grind' position. In this mode, the ADF remains in its light state (DIN 4) and will not darken, providing eye protection from grinding debris without the filter activating. Remember to switch back to 'Weld' mode before resuming welding operations.
